| Title | A Biostatistician's Perspective: Impact in Clinical/ Translational Studies |
| Speaker | Frank Harrell, PhD |
| Presentation-Attached | Harrell - ACTS - April 11, 2014 |
| Abstract | Statistics is not a toolbox, but a way of thinking. In clinical and translational research, and indeed in all fields of research, things are not always as they seem. Biostatisticians often function as team detectives to find alternative explanations for findings or to demonstrate that the apparent explanation has no likely substitute. It is better to have a biostatistician as your detective rather than a referee or study section. |
